[quote name='The Dark Lord' timestamp='1363697766' post='2015968'] No offence taken. You're probably unaware that I own a string of computer service and security companies and hold Cisco architect level qualifications and a Microsoft mail MVP. I know what you say, but no. The breach didn't come from me. For security reasons, I delete all registration emails and have no trace of my site specific email system. It's not me. It's Basschat. I know what is very likely to have happened. One or more of the site admins (probably all of them) operate behind either no firewall or a poor one. If any of them surf naughty things on the same PC, then who knows who have all of email addresses by now. Just sayin..... [/quote] I like your assumption that we're all computer illiterate (perhaps I am, but still) Put any info you like to Hamster and we'll look into it, as you asked so nicely... Oh and make sure it's pitched to the right level

[quote name='The Dark Lord' timestamp='1363688136' post='2015721'] Well, it has to mine - and basschat is the [u]only[/u] place that knows that email - so it MUST have come from basschat somehow. [/quote] I don't know how spam works but I frequently have spam email directed at me from accounts I've used for various sites. I guess the spambots are good at guessing email addresses. Anyway we'll have a look into it.

I just looked in my spam email and have found the same message, but it's not gone to my registered BC email address.

[quote name='Sharkfinger' timestamp='1363442059' post='2012768'] Thanks for the reply. Thought it would be something along those lines. Makes sense. [/quote] No probs; we really wanted to have a 'free' option, so I guess things will evolve as we start saving some money to work on the site. Cheers ped

Hi Sharkfinger There were a few limitations to how we structured the pricing. Here are a few points: - Policing at different price points would be complicated (to ensure people don't under-value to circumvent (hard enough at the moment!)) - We thought that most people listing something negatively effected by the higher cost to asking price ration would probably have other gear to sell rather than sign up to just shift one pedal, for example, for the most part - Pricing is encouraging people to take advantage of the site by sticking around and listing other items (even non-bass gear) - Cost of having a % of asking price based system was prohibitive at the beginning We may well adjust this in the future, but after talking to the guys at Talkbass, who only have a $20 a year option, anything less than that becomes a rod for your own back in many ways as we'd have to check or possibly review each post to ensure listings are realistic. Oh and Kev, no, they will be hidden like the other forums.. think one of the mods was having a play

[quote name='mybass' timestamp='1363365505' post='2011937'] Not seen when they were posted, I'm not on here all the time! There still isn't anything posted under FAQs and Rules. I'm sure there will be others not aware of the situ as yet. [/quote] Don't worry, there's no difference unless you post something for sale. Yes pressing backspace will take you back a page in certain conditions as explained above. Cheers

Thanks, yes that's part of tomorrow's plan. Cheers

Cool, refunded - try now! Cheers (P.s, from tomorrow, only logged in users will be able to pay)

[quote name='Prime_BASS' timestamp='1363291119' post='2011225'] Just completed a subscription payment via my phone, without beinga member to paypal, while posting a new thread, after paying I had to re-trype my whole for sale thread again, then the subscription message came up again. I used a different email though, [email="[email protected]"][email protected][/email] [/quote] Hi, Yes you should always make sure you're logged in when paying, and probably best not to do it via a mobile for the time being. Want a refund? PM me if so, then try the post again from a computer. Cheers

[quote name='fumps' timestamp='1363273568' post='2010838'] Dumb question alert: Is there a clear "For Dummies" procedure for placing ads & paying subscription fee's I have an ad to place but are unsure if i pay first then place my add....how does it work I'm a little confuddled [/quote] Just go to post as normal and all will become clear

[quote name='Hamster' timestamp='1363215750' post='2010096'] It worked for me first time? - [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/202347-test-stuff/page__view__findpost__p__2010091"]http://basschat.co.u...ost__p__2010091[/url] [/quote] It's working for everyone as far as I know, so I'd like to hear what you did exactly Lozz as it may help us identify something - PM me!

Hi guys Cheers for the comments. A custom mobile theme is on our wish list. It'll be a big job so were glad the current one is ok for now. There are definitely a few things missing though so we've started talking about designing our own. I think we still have a few things to fix here first though

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1363213266' post='2010032'] Think this may have happened yesterday as well? I paid my £20, and the one ad I managed to post isn`t even there, and the next one I`ve tried to post, even though I`ve placed values in the title bar and price/trade value box, it keeps saying "Insert a price". [/quote] Hi mate That'll be something different - please PM me the details and I'll look into it. Does it work now? Everything is working this end so I'll try and get to the bottom of it for you. Cheers

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1363202032' post='2009786'] I`ve paid my £20, but posted an item for sale yesterday, and although it was shown on the front page, not only could I then not get into it, it doesn`t appear on the for sale listings either. Bah. [/quote] Hm that's strange, can you PM me more details and I'll check it out

Just bumping this up for the attention of those trying to keep awake until 5pm Thanks again for the understanding and keep checking the FB page plugin for news about our return - I expect we'l be down from about 7am until about 4pm Cheers ped

Hm possibly. Still, thanks for letting me know, the more I can learn about the forum behavior the better we can adjust and fine tune it. Cheers ped

[quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1363098992' post='2008437'] Same just happened again, top item in amps, "feeler for sale or trade" started by fettsman. [/quote] OK I can see the thread - so what happens if you click the notification, it says 'no permission'? Does it work if you manually visit the forum and click the thread?

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1363098556' post='2008422'] [/size] It's not just gear - we're [i]everything [/i]whores mate, we're subscribed up for [i]all [/i]notifications about [i]everything! [/i] The official BC term for this is [i]Whoreclown.[/i] [/quote] I don't think my inbox could handle it (and that's NOT a euphemism)

OK I think I know what you're saying. What you're seeing is a relic link to a post that was abandoned. We're working on getting these to disappear along with the threads but not quite there yet. Currently the thread itself is deleted though hence the 'no permission' notice - the thread is gone. Thanks for the heads up, this will be addressed tomorrow Cheers

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1363098248' post='2008409'] I asked iCastle about this very point and apparently it's a bug - an ad that is posted but not paid for ends up in limbo and still activates a notification before it's automatically deleted. [/quote] Ah I see, if you subscribe to the sales forum that might happen... it's on our list of fixes for tomorrow. I didn't realise people subscribed for notifications every time a thread is posted.. You gear whores, you Can you confirm that you can access the marketplace forums, though, Karlfer? Cheers
